Introducing Al Bino…

Not one to blend in with the rest, Al Bino is the latest edition to the Australian hip hop scene. He comes with a unique point of view and a collection of white-hot lyrics. He learnt his trade on the way up through the rap battle circuit, honing his skills and rising to represent Australia at an international level.

His breakthrough hit of summer 2008/09 “It’s a beautiful day… for cancer” is a formidable collaboration with US hip hop artist and producer Lyrics Born, who discovered Al Bino while he was touring Australia. His debut single was a big hit last summer, receiving over 250,000 YouTube views, countless blog posts and heaps of attention from the media.
